FAQs

What makes this headcollar comfortable for my horse?

The headcollar features soft-touch fleece padding and a wide, pressure-relieving design on the crown, noseband, and cheek pieces, which helps to distribute pressure evenly and prevent discomfort.

Is this set suitable for all horse sizes?

The set is available in different sizes, such as cob. It's recommended to measure your horse and consult a sizing chart to ensure the best fit, as sizes can vary between manufacturers.

Can I use this headcollar for riding?

This headcollar set is designed primarily for leading and turnout. It is not intended for use during riding activities.

How do I clean the headcollar and leadrope?

It is best to hand wash the set in cool water with a mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.

What does the 'double buckle crown' do?

The double buckle crown allows for independent adjustment on both sides of the horse's head, enabling a more precise and customized fit.

Does the set come with a leadrope?

Yes, the John Whitaker Club Headcollar and Leadrope Set includes a matching leadrope.

Are there matching items available for this set?

Yes, matching items are available separately to complete a coordinated look for your horse's tack.

Troubleshooting

Headcollar seems too tight or too loose

Adjust the double buckle crown straps and ensure the throat lash is correctly fastened. Refer to sizing guides if the issue persists across all adjustments.

Fleece appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the fleece with a soft bristle brush. For stubborn dirt, hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then air dry thoroughly.

Trigger clip is stiff

Ensure the clip mechanism is free from dirt or debris. Lubricate lightly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary, being careful not to transfer to the horse's coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unbuckle the throat lash and crown buckles.
Gently place the headcollar over the horse's head, ensuring the noseband rests comfortably.
Adjust the double buckles on the crown piece for a snug but not tight fit. You should be able to fit two fingers between the headcollar and the horse's head.
Fasten the trigger clip throat lash.

Compatibility:

This headcollar is designed for general equine use and is suitable for most horses. It is available in different sizes (e.g., cob, full), so ensure you select the correct size for your horse's build. The set is intended for leading and turnout, not for long-term restraint or during riding.

Care:

Clean the fleece padding regularly with a soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
For deeper cleaning, hand wash the headcollar and leadrope in cool water with mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
Allow the set to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight to maintain material integrity.
Inspect regularly for any signs of wear and tear.
